High CPU and Memory Utilization 100% load

[nehat Sadriu]

Dear all,

My company purchased a new IPS apliance 4510 and after initial setup i see that CPU and Memory load is 100%. The device is not in a production Network. Is this normal or there is a hardware problem? Appreciate any advise on this.

Regards

Nehat

Hi Nehat,

This is actually a normal behavior for an IPS sensor.

To measure the true load of an IPS sensor, you will want to monitor the 'Processing Load Percentage' of the analysis engine which handles all of the inspection processing for the sensor. 

You can review these statistics using the "show statistics analysis-engine" command.

Also, on sensor  running  version 7.0(7)E4 or 7.1(5)E4 (or later), you can check the Inspection Load Percentage value displayed by the 'show inspection-load' command instead.

Hope this answers your query.
